2019, Moderní Evropan první poloviny 19. století. K životnímu jubileu profesora Dušana Uhlíře [Modern European in the First Half of the 19th Century. To the Jubilee of Professor Dušan Uhlíř], ed. Marian Hochel, Opava – Praha

The book "Modern European in the First Half of the 19th Century" brings interesting insights into the penetration of elements of modernity into various areas of society in the first decades of the “long” 19th century. The individual chapters form a mosaic creating a meaningful picture of a changing Europe and, in particular, minor imperceptible changes in the (self)conception of the then man. The aim of this book is to "bring the profile of the 'modern' European and the image of the 'modern' Europe as it appeared to generations in the first decades of the 'long' century and how it appears to us as time has passed". Although each chapter focuses on the different themes of "great" and "small" history in different European regions and pursues them from different perspectives of political, cultural and social history, history of mentalities, history of science and technology and art history, they always help to explain in interdisciplinarity the various causes and influences that, during the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars and Europe after the Congress of Vienna, gave birth to a "modern" Europe and the formation of a "modern" European.
